5 yearsI just had some chancer on the line trying to trick me into giving them access to my computer. I promptly hung up!5 yearsGot a call pretending to be from BT, saying they needed to reset my broadband because of new software updates. Seemed fishy to me, definitely a scam.BT5 yearsGot a call from some bloke saying he was with BT, said I needed to set up something on my laptop. Asked if I could tell him my IP address. I played along but didn’t actually give him my details. Instead, I asked him to say the number again after I checked mine. Then I told him it wasn’t the same and ended the call. Feels like a total scam to me.BT5 yearsPhony BT Support Alert! I was rather anxious for a call from BT after having been the victim of a recent hacking incident. A chap had me convinced, at least for a moment, that he was the real deal. He prompted me to download Team Viewer so he could access my computer. I’ve got a sneaky suspicion he had a good rummage through my data. It wasn't until he asked me to check my bank account for some supposed compensation that the alarm bells rang, and I realised I’d been duped. I swiftly terminated the call, only for him to ring me back thrice, each time more irate than the last. I immediately uninstalled Team Viewer, ran a thorough scan with McAfee and Malware software, reported the incident to BT, altered my passwords, and fingers crossed, I’ve dodged a bullet. Usually, I pride myself on being sharp, but his timing was immaculate; he even had my BT account number!BTTeam ViewerMcAfeeMalware software5 yearsHad a dodgy call from someone pretending to be BT support. They got me to install TeamViewer so they could look at my computer, which felt wrong. Then they wanted me to open a bank account, and that’s when I knew it was all a con. I quickly deleted TeamViewer, ran a bunch of malware scans, changed my passwords and told BT what happened. The caller sounded like they were from Tunbridge Wells and spoke English with a strong Indian accent. They also kept mentioning dollars instead of pounds, which made me more suspicious.BTTeamViewerTunbridge WellsSubmit Your Own Report (01892 710554)
